The ruthenium(II)-catalyzed direct ring-opening reaction of 7-azabenzonorbornadienes with anilides via C-H activation to access hydronaphthylamines has been developed. The transformation proceeds with a high stereoselectivity to give cis-configuration products under redox-neutral conditions.

Highly Enantiomerically Enriched Secondary Alcohols via Epoxide Hydrogenolysis.

In this article, we report the development of ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of epoxides to selectively give the branched (Markovnikov) alcohol products. In contrast to previously reported catalysts, the use of Milstein's PNN-pincer-ruthenium complex at room temperature allows the conversion of enantiomerically enriched epoxides to secondary alcohols without racemization of the product. The catalyst is effective for a range of aryl epoxides, alkyl epoxides, and glycidyl ethers and is the first homogeneous system to selectively promote hydrogenolysis of glycidol to 1,2-propanediol, without loss of enantiomeric purity.

Article Synopsis
- * The technique involves base-promoted decomposition of ruthenocyclobutane intermediates, adding a diene group to the polymer chain's end while also deactivating the ruthenium catalyst.
- * The termination reactions are quick and efficient, usually finishing in under a minute at low temperatures (0 °C) with over 95% success in end-capping.
Total syntheses of Tetrodotoxin and 9-epiTetrodotoxin.

National Institute of Biological Sciences, 7 Science Park Road, Zhongguancun Life Science Park, Beijing, 102206, China.
Tetrodotoxin and congeners are specific voltage-gated sodium channel blockers that exhibit remarkable anesthetic and analgesic effects. Here, we present a scalable asymmetric syntheses of Tetrodotoxin and 9-epiTetrodotoxin from the abundant chemical feedstock furfuryl alcohol. The optically pure cyclohexane skeleton is assembled via a stereoselective Diels-Alder reaction.

Activation of C-C bonds allows editing of molecular skeletons, but methods for selective activation of nonpolar C-C bonds in the absence of a chelation effect or a driving force derived from opening of a strained ring are scarce. Herein, we report a method for ruthenium-catalyzed activation of nonpolar C-C bonds of pro-aromatic compounds by means of π-coordination-enabled aromatization. This method was effective for cleavage of C-C(alkyl) and C-C(aryl) bonds and for ring-opening of spirocyclic compounds, providing an array of benzene-ring-containing products.
